1King Solomon loved many foreign women, including Pharaoh’s daughter: Moabite, Ammonite, Edomite, Sidonian, and Hittite women.

2from the nations about which Yahweh had said to the sons of Israel, “You shall not go in among them, and they shall not come in among you; surely they will turn your heart after their gods”—to these Solomon clung in love.

3He had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives turned away his heart.
